Psalms 20:6

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and streams on the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit on your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring:

A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

Therefore Yahweh’s anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the middle of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.

For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.

Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,

Won’t you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

But Yahweh says, “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the plunder retrieved from the fierce, for I will contend with him who contends with you and I will save your children.

I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh,” says the Lord Yahweh, “when I am proven holy in you before their eyes.

She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”

He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.

that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,

You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will pay your vows.

Praise be to Yahweh, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.

Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

So the nations will fear Yahweh’s name, all the kings of the earth your glory.

“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”

The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life.

that I will break the Assyrian in my land, and tread him under foot on my mountains. Then his yoke will leave them, and his burden leave their shoulders.

For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored him who lives forever; for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation.

“It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow.

Behold, he will kill me. I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.

Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

As for God, his way is perfect. Yahweh’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

My God, I have trusted in you. Don’t let me be shamed. Don’t let my enemies triumph over me.

For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

Yahweh is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

“I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.

He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.

You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.

Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

They will only bow down under the prisoners, and will fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

It will happen in that day that his burden will depart from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

But Yahweh is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.

“Behold, I am against you, destroying mountain,” says Yahweh, “which destroys all the earth. I will stretch out my hand on you, roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burned mountain.

until Yahweh looks down, and sees from heaven.

Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.

I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will test them like gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will hear them. I will say, ‘It is my people;’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’ ”

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.

They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.

But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

Today, Yahweh will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you, and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

Those who strive with Yahweh shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.

hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,

Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.

You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.

He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.

By this I know that you delight in me, because my enemy doesn’t triumph over me.

For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.

So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;

Look down from heaven, and see from the habitation of your holiness and of your glory. Where are your zeal and your mighty acts? The yearning of your heart and your compassion is restrained toward me.

You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot.

Pray like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.

“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.

God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
